This was a fun first round of secrets, everyone! Gym leader and trainer alike, it was very fun reading all of your submissions and we would like to thank you on behalf of the entire EV News Staff! The love, the heartbreak, the friendship, the deep, dark, secrets!

- EV Editors

This was a fun first round! We'd like to issue a reminder that for whenever we choose to do this again, please submit your secrets in image form, as we will not be turning text secrets into images ourselves. We did a few this time, but next time they will be omitted.

The secrets will be broadcast via Pokégear as a slideshow, which one can pause and skip as wished. Questions, comments, etc. go here. Thank you for participating! Sorry about the short notice; next time, we'll think ahead of time.

You're free to use this post for IC reactions if you'd like, and if you put "Anonymous" in the header of your comment it will ICly show up as such. It'll count for AC!

...like this? ♥? That's pretty neat actually...

Exactly ♥

You're pretty good at this~

I like new things! Maybe not all the time, but lots of the time.

That's good. It's good to like new things! If you were too closed-minded, you'd end up being really dumb.

.....Thank you?

[Feeling a little insulted now!]

I'm not saying you're closed-minded!!!! :o

Actually you're really not which is a good thing u_u which is why you like to learn and help and stuff

sorry if that came out Really awkward I didn't mean to

Oh! Oh well that's okay then! Thank you.

You're welcome ♥

well sometimes people just dont get along!
and in those cases there is not much to be done about that
except maybe get an auspistice but humans dont do that really so never mind

oh!
i will not bring it up again then :)
thats really rather rude of him if thats the case :(

Sorry, but there's no gel involved. Even when Sora gets drenched from head to toe, the stuff springs right back up after a quick shake.

[Hey, you can shoot things like fire from those keys. Somehow.]

There's logic holes everywhere. The only way I can even begin to reconcile it is if I think of it as a game like some people do, and that brings its own share of problems to the table.

It's extremely complicated. We used to be very close friends, and I would like to have that friendship back. We have made several small steps forward since arriving here, and several large steps in the opposite direction.

[He's severely stretching the "close friends" thing.]

Would it benefit me to know what an auspistice is?

And thank you, Aradia. Habits are tough to break, I suppose. He has known me by that name for many, many years.

They have four legs and fur, what else do you want?

[Normally he'd say animals are animals and treating them like people is pointless sentimentalism, but shit, this is a little girl, and she has a point that pokemon aren't your average dogs and cats.]

All right, maybe they're different, but they're still a long way off from a person.

What, they talk to normal animals? What's the point of that?

[Maybe the next time Yusuke's dealing with a secretive bad guy, he should try acting like he already knows what their evil plan is. It'd at least offer some variation from his usual "beat it out of 'em" method.]

What, did you actually wanna know? [Because if so, color him surprised. He just figured Blake was trying to give him shit.

Either way, while it's kind of against his better judgment, Yusuke can't resist the impulse to scoff a little at the comment about his parents. It's not bitter-sounding or anything, just - amused in a kind of dry way, like, "yeah, okay. Like that's gonna happen."] Tch. Good luck with that. My mom's not even conscious half the time.

Besides, it's not like I'm going into peoples' houses. Just abandoned buildings, construction sites... y'know, places with signs that say "keep out". Makes it harder for people to interrupt me when I'm kicking a bunch of guys' asses.

[DON'T MIND HIM, JUST NONCHALANTLY DISCUSSING HIS DELINQUENT TENDENCIES WITH A POLICE OFFICER. Whatever, it's not like Blake can really do anything about it, aside from get all judgmental and huffy, and Yusuke's pretty used to that by now. Greaser hair don't care.]

[it's a disturbing mental image.] That's not natural.

[That's not remotely what keys do!]

Yeah, problems like if it's a game, how the hell are we here, and how does anybody win?

Poison or paralysis might be better in the long run, since you risk the legendaries waking up from Hypnosis or Sleep Powder.

If they don't have Heal Bell.

As long it's not too much coaxing. No one likes it when they feel forced into it.

[Blake's a pretty big fan of the beat it out of them method, too]

[shrugs] Why not? I've got nothing better to do.

[Better to keep the brat talking than to let his mind wander back to that image and the little boy waiting to see his father again.]

[That explains a lot.] Comatose or drunk?

[Blake and tact rarely meet.]

Oh yeah, trespassing. That's better. You know those are closed to keep idiots from getting killed climbing on them, right?

Your very own Fight Club, huh? That wasn't even that good of a movie.

[WASH YOUR HAIR.]

nope
wait bro has a thing for jake
seriously
are you kidding
i mean it makes sense but wow theyre not so different as they claimed to be

Considering the stuff that exists where we're from, I'd say spiky hair is the least of our problems.

[He chuckles.]

And at least it being a game would explain the constant background music and the little MISSINGNO. incident a while back, but I've got a feeling explaining that might make your brain implode.

Guess burns are an option, too. Light them up, and they lose half their strength.

[Blake shakes his head decisively.]

I don't wanna know. Don't give me any answers, because I am going out of my damn way not to ask.

That goes for both of those.

[Well. Aren't you just full of surprises tonight, Blake? Yusuke seems a little taken aback, but he answers anyway, telling him:]

Okay, then... I dunno. I've never really thought about it.

[Aside from the fact that it'd taken getting killed in a car crash and then resurrected to become the designated defender of humanity for it to even occur to him that he had a future worth considering in the first place, Yusuke... well, Yusuke is fourteen. Or, well, he's almost fifteen, if you want to be exact, but the point is, even the most well-adjusted people his age don't often know what it is they want to do when they grow up. He knows Keiko wants to go to college to become a teacher, but she's the kind of person who would know which direction she wants to take in life, and what she'd have to do and how she'd have to do it to get there. Him, though... he can't even imagine what not being a Spirit Detective would be like, at this point. Maybe he'll just keep being one 'til he's forty and then call it quits; it's not like he isn't damn good at it, after all.

Fortunately for Blake's brain, that isn't anything Yusuke mentions aloud. Instead, Yusuke shrugs and gives him a blithe grin, and says:]

Maybe I'll become the next prime minister. Or uh, the next-next-next-next prime minister. There's no way I could do the job worse than the current guy does it.

[... not that, you know, he actually pays attention to politics all that much. Hell, he doesn't even know what the current guy's name is, much less his policies and what-not; he just sort of assumes that whoever's in power is corrupt and skips the news to watch sports instead. What a responsible young citizen he is.

And fortunately, Yusuke isn't very sensitive himself - not about this, anyway, and not if they were just talking about his mom's alcoholism and not badmouthing his mom on a more personal level. He won't pretend to approve of Atsuko's drinking problem, but the fact is, well, alcoholism is a disease, which means that his mom's sick, not... deliberately trying to be a bad mother. He knows she cares about him. In fact, after he came back to life, she kept having nightmares about him going back to Spirit World to get away from her, which, while he probably wouldn't put it this way himself (or even talk about it at all in the first place), totally broke his friggin' heart into little itty-bitty pieces. So yeah, as long as Blake doesn't start telling "yo momma" jokes, Yusuke doesn't have any issues with him being blunt. It is what it is, you know? No use dressing up the facts.]

Drunk. 's a wonder I wasn't born with webbed toes, or something.

[Is that even a thing that happens when you drink while pregnant? Well, whatever. Yusuke moves on.]

Yeah. So what? I've never gotten killed climbing on 'em. Besides, I figure it's charitable for me to make it a little challenging for myself. Means I might not totally wipe the floor with whoever it is I'm fighting.

[... aaand whoosh goes that pop culture reference, right over his head! Normally, Yusuke would assume this was just an American thing, say "IDK what that is", and change the subject, but that... actually sounds like something he might enjoy, if, of course, he could find it with Japanese subtitles. Hence why he sounds pretty intrigued when he asks:]

Oh yeah? What's it about?

[WASH YOUR BEARD.]

They also have hearts and feelings! They just can't express them like humans do!

[She pouts a little.]

...he talks to them sometimes and they're quite helpful. Sometimes they give us directions. You shouldn't be so closed off to the idea.

Are you sure? :)?

Whatever you say, Princess.

Branded, Saphir? Come now, we can't both be cows.

But don't you still owe me a battle?
